Rear-end collisions occasionally cause severe multiple-collision accidents, especially in high-density and high-speed traffic. Avoiding the rear-end collisions is one of the critical issues since this type of collision has been the most significant factor among all types of traffic accident for many years. This research aims to develop a driver assistance system that informs the inferred intention of preceding car's deceleration behavior to the following vehicle through an interface based on a wind shield display (W SD). Assuming four vehicles forming a longitudinal platoon, a system was developed in which the deceleration intent of the 3rd vehicle is inferred and informed to the 4th vehicle driver by the WSD. A driving simulator (DS) experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance including the collision risk of the 4th vehicle with and without the system. A series of the experiments showed that the proposed system was significantly effective to mitigate the collision risk even under emergency deceleration scenarios.
